Down goes Frazier. I missed the report on Fox earlier but Ace says it sounds like the Dems are trying to shift the blame for it from the House GOP to Maverick. Fair or no? Let’s see. Dodd lands the first blow
The only problem? According to Marc Ambinder,
citing four independent sources, McCain didn’t say much of anything
during the White House meeting let alone float any alternative plans. Boehner,
apparently, brought up some of the House GOP’s ideas; the Dems claim
they got the impression that McCain supported those ideas, but “they
concede that he did not raise them directly.” Even Reid, ever sneering,
admits McCain played no major role.
Which isn’t to say that he doesn’t, in fact, support the House GOP.
Update: An astute point from Baseball Crank. In all the
frenzy over McCain, you know whose name you haven’t heard much of at
all as mattering to this deal? Barack Obama’s.
